Tank vs. Tornado - Insane Intercept in Dominator 3

Congratulations I've watched you guys for years but this is by far your finest work ever, I don't think anyone will be topping this anytime in the near future. COOL AS HELL !!!

There needs to be a total design change for wind readings. Needs to be two units with N-S & E-W openings. enclosed. Grates for the air to enter/exit with sloped projections to keep debris from clogging the air ports as best you can. Have it shaped for the air to flow inside and only across the cups. I would have never expected the current setting to withstand when the rest of the vehicle is MADE to take the hit?

Having that as designed is TOO WEAK of a structure when anyone knows you're going to be HIT with lord knows what. Vehicle dynamics proved it works - congrats on that. But you're in there to GET the readings. And, you had your windows UP and on this sensor to read? Your air volume is being pushed thru the a/c system & the rear exhaust vents (for air in-to-out not out-to-in). And you want 'accurate' readings??? Again, having it in an armored box to protect from wind and objects, but to have unrestricted pressure readings is what the hell you're there for in the first place!!!

If I was paying for this and seen your setup we'd be having some SERIOUS revisions. Getting the instruments into the funnel is the ONLY reason why you're their, not to yell like school kids.

Like I said, if I was rich and was paying for this...and watched this and the wind reading failure...I would be so mad I'd get up and walk out...

Congrats on what you did. Your data isn't worth shit (IMHO).

The Dominator needs to be cleaned out inside.
That vehicle was a mess 🤢

Typical screaming Yanks.

All I can say is ho-lee-crap !!!!!!!!!!!! That was so impressive...my God !!!!! Reed you are off the hook !!!!

Epic work and production...cheers!

this is horrible

Reed Timmer you a legend

It's been awhile since I watched Storm Chasers or any videos of Reed, so it was a surprise to see the new Dominator. Nice intercept, by the way. Glad the debris didn't include any cows or a hag on a bicycle...

Stay safe out there!

I dreamed about this vehicle in my childhood. No way that it’s real

Congatulatinons :) Ive been following your journery since the outbreak in i think 2012. This is the ulitmate goal. Im so happy for you.

😅 Wow. Research data says, GPS Signal dropped? Lol. Wow. WHO would have thaught 😅😅😅😅

That local traffic simply didn’t care

Wow! Taking Bill n Jo to a whole new level.

Reed, I've followed your stuff for years. I must say this is probably the best you've done yet. All those years of chasing got to this point. You're going to be in history for all the work you've done. In my opinion you are as honorary to the study of tornadoes as Fujita himself.

This is the coolest!!

That must of been a all time high...excellent job

Nice intercept! I'm wondering what those windshield wiper arms are made of, because they champed that debris!

Block traffic behind u

It’s funny how the 2 cars just passed by you, and you where there strapped and screaming, and for them was just another Sunday 😂😂

C’est pénible leurs cris.

why's there always 1 dude that feels like he needs to shout everything?

Awesome footage. I'd love to know what kind of glass you put in that car that can withstand debris being flung at it at over 150 mph. Or are you just taking a chance with thicker stuff, in which case you guys are crazy, but in a good way I guess. I wonder what may be achievable with a kitted out driverless vehicle in the future? - be a hell of a lot safer than 4 people sitting in a mini-tank. Fascinating to watch, and very interesting to see how close those other couple of cars were to the intercept point that drove around you too.

That is so dope, but I really don’t understand how he hasn’t gotten hurt I guess it’s a testament

2 cars go in, 1 comes out

Did anyone notice the two cars directly behind the Dominator as it came to a stop? I sure hope they implement some safety features around this, like a "DO NOT FOLLOW" sign, hazard lights, or simply pull over as far as possible. Also, how did those two cars not see this giant tornado coming?

Look at those Sandhills

What happened to Dom 2, when it comes to intercepting?

getting some big Twister vibes here, all that this is missing is Bill Paxton. Awesome stuff!

🤔 umm you stoped in the middle of the road blocking traffic 😳 seems to be a little wtf moment! 😢 😱 you might have a modified car with anchors, I'm just saying the people stuck behind you in confusion because in that situation they will going crazy, maybe they have the kids in the back. 😳
At the very least! Dress up the cay with "pass me" & "we will kill you, cause we stop in the paths of tornadoes!" signs,

Why do they always have to be so exaggerated? Or is this what they mean by "Typical American"

Is this made a bit extra dramatic? You blocked the road for vehicles driving there, and just a 100 yards behind car are parked without damage...

Going for an intercept in shorts and flipflops is crazy

She: he might be with some other girl
Me and my boys:

A lot has happened since the movie "Twister". I see y'all now have tanks.

The first woman comment was unnecessary. Beta male narrator.

Clancy-" Hey Bob, ive finally figured out how to engineer the perfect 'Subsonic Sensor'"
Clancy- :Places water in a bowl and covers with saran wrap,
slaps the top of it and guffaws callously with disproportioned malcontent while stating, "Now were playing with Power!!!"

Looks like a very fast Dalek.😂😂😂😂

car is close the tornado but car is survive bruh?

wait? What is car is survive?

Чёт, жидкое торнадо , помощнее не было?

Please dont use the name of God in vain!

Grow up with yelling, like woosies, also what a pointless thing to do

Twister was my favorite film when I was a kid. Since than I was amazed by tornadoes but they were a rarity in Germany and if occurred they were very small.
25 years later Germany experienced more tornadoes in the last 5 years than in the previous 50 and today I saw real life footage form the inside of a tornado. I would have never imagined to see something like this.

Growing up in tornado alley I witnessed several tornadoes. They scared me so badly for years I couldn't even watch any videos of tornadoes without having a panic attack. Decided as an adult to overcome my fear by forcing myself to start slowly watching videos of them. Now by watching storm chasers like you guys, I find tornadoes extremely fascinating. The power of Mother Nature is pretty amazing. Just wish it didn't bring the destruction with it.

Gotta love the black mazda that cuts them off right before getting on the road A GIANT TORNADO IS HEADED FOR. That's some real idgaf driving right there

Those normal Cars were looking like badasses " hey , can we drive to home ? its normal wind here"

Getting tired of all this overdramatization. Thank you for your passion and hard work, but can we simply have footage with someone knowledgeable explaining details we might miss?
